A career in medical technology is a great way to combine an aptitude for science with the desire to help others.  Medical Technologists, also known as Clinical Laboratory Scientists, are highly skilled professionals who perform analytical tests on blood, tissue, and body fluids to provide laboratory information for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases.  There is also a growing trend for medical technologists to perform wellness laboratory testing aimed at preventing disease.

The primary goal of the Medical Technology Program is to provide the community with medical technologists who are prepared to enter the health-care industry as qualified clinical laboratory practitioners and who meet the requirements for certification in their profession.  Medical technologists are in demand in hospital laboratories, reference clinical laboratories, physician office laboratories, public-health agencies, university research laboratories, and in industry in laboratory, sales, and customer-support positions.

Application Deadline for the Medical Technology Program is February 1

Applications in process by the deadline date will continue to be processed.
